I don’t know if this holds true with the Manalo family of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC).

Please continue reading and find out.

The Rosita Trillanes rape case is a ghost that continues to hunt the credibility of Felix Manalo and the Iglesia Ni Cristo. It is a nightmare for every INC members to know that Felix Manalo has been accused of rape by his own INC member. A court even found Felix Manalo as a ‘man with low moral’. Manalo joined many religions (Methodist Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church, Disciples of Christ, Christian Mission and Seventh Day Adventists) before he decided to form Iglesia Ni Kristo. Felix Manalo had 2 wives, the first, Tomasa Sereneo died then he immediately remarried again, Honorata de Guzman.

Felix Manalo was a former Catholic. Yes, the same Catholic religion that the INC ministers and members always love to attack and malign. Felix Manalo also joined Methodist and then Seven Day Adventist until he realized that he has a ‘calling’ and established his own church and preached to everyone that he is actually an angel being prophesied by the Holy Scriptures. It is also INC’s claim that there is no other true church aside from Iglesia Ni Cristo. With my estimate of less than 1 million, I think it’s sad to think that only INC members (mostly Filipinos) will be sent to heaven.

Everyone knows that Iglesia Ni Cristo supported Gloria Arroyo in the highly doubtful 2004 election. In return, Gloria Arroyo treated INC as a friend and a dependable ally. It is a mutual bonding made from hell. The close relationship of Gloria Arroyo and Iglesia Ni Cristo did not started as sweet as honey. INC tried to oust Gloria Arroyo in EDSA 3 where GMA was forced to declare a State of Rebellion. INC members died in EDSA 3. After starting the relationship on a wrong foot, the bond between Iglesia Ni Cristo and Gloria Arroyo was made even much stronger. Arroyo, which polls says as the Most corrupt President, later declared the much-hated Iglesia Ni Cristo Day on July 27, 2009.

[wiki] Eduardo Manalo (son and successor of Eraño G. Manalo) was also reported to have an involvement in EDSA 3. … According to Armando Doronila’s The Fall of Joseph Estrada: The Inside Story, – as well as local newspaper reports such as the May 7, 2001 issue of Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manalo was reportedly involved in a rebellion plot against the Philippine government under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in EDSA III… The political nature of the Manalo family is very clear and the alliance of the Iglesia Ni Cristo with Gloria Arroyo cannot be denied.

Aside from being involved in government appointments, Iglesia Ni Cristo of the Manalo family is also well known for intervening political issues in the Philippines. INC cult group calling different Congressmen to stop a widely supported impeachment case against an Ombudsman is totally wicked. Filipino people has been waiting the impeachment case against Ombudsman Gutierrez because of its plea bargaining agreement with General Carlos Garcia and other gross negligence by the office of the Ombudsman. Obviously, Iglesia Ni Cristo enjoyed more attention from a president during the Arroyo administration than with the present Aquino administration. Eduardo Manalo (who just inherited the position of Executive Minister from his dad when he died) is still a newbie in political decisions. Iglesia Ni Cristo taking the side of Gloria Arroyo and Merceditas Gutierrez is political suicide for a neophyte Eduardo Manalo. Arroyo and Gutierrez are rotten compared to mass-beloved President Noynoy Aquino.

Iglesia Ni Cristo failed in convincing Congressmen to stop the impeachment case against Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez. Many lawmakers on the House of Representatives have said that a high ranking official of influential political group of Iglesia Ni Cristo has been making call about the impeachment. Half of Filipinos back Gutierrez’s impeachment, as proven by a survey. 4 members of the Macapagal / Arroyo clan and the INC Congressman Marcoleta are among who voted NO. It is widely believed that most of the 46 members of the House who voted NO are sympathizers of Gloria Arroyo. Why did Iglesia Ni Cristo try to stop the impeachment of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez? — Merceditas Gutierrez was appointed as Ombudsman by Gloria Arroyo, a friend of INC.

I love writing or blogging about the atrocities of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. I hate wasting time and I prefer spending my free time productively. I truly believe that I contribute to the Filipino society by exposing the Manalo Family and the Iglesia Ni Cristo. The dirty mouth of the INC blogger readme / Conrad Obligacion is also inspiring me to expose INC further more. Readme loves to attack other religion as if Iglesia Ni Cristo is doing nothing wrong. The funny doctrines of INC is also too hard to ignore. I cannot believe that INC members was able to accept that Felix Manalo is an angel. In my eyes, I am helping INC members to open their eyes and someday leave the Iglesia Ni Cristo cult. I also believe that I am helping the rest of Filipinos by exposing what type of religious group INC is really are. The awful credibility of Iglesia Ni Cristo is usually being talked about in street corners and different offices during breaks. Bloggers and Philippine media are all both writing news and articles about INC. Only INC diehards are closing their eyes in the truth about Iglesia Ni Cristo.

I believe I am spending my time better instead of wasting it around.

I think tormenting INC members have become my favorite past time.

This is the much needed shot in the arm for INC members, the bitter medicine we call TRUTH.

The truth about the wicked news of Iglesia Ni Cristo has been hidden among INC members.

It’s time to wake up.

The violent nature of some INC members should be exposed and serve as a strong warning in dealing with Iglesia Ni Cristo. The political nature of Iglesia Ni Cristo should serve as an eye-opener that INC is hungry for power and political influence among politicians. The hypocrite nature of Iglesia Ni Cristo should also be a signal to us that all those medical and dental relief operations of INC are just for a show. I am a first hand witness how INC members treat their ‘enemies’. I am a witness and constant news reader of how INC murders and hurts other people as reported in different Philippine newspapers and media outlets. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a public menace. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a disgrace foe the entire Filipino nation. The Iglesia Ni Cristo and their participation in EDSA 3 have degraded the world-renowned peaceful EDSA 1. When I learned that INC members died in EDSA 3, I fully realized how Iglesia Ni Cristo is seriously thinking only about their group and does not care about the Philippine society. How can a ‘religious’ group like INC allow their members die in a violent anti-government protest? I pity the INC members who wasted their lives during the EDSA 3. Shame on you Iglesia Ni Cristo. Shame on you Manalo family.

I am not quite sure about the BuKaBin group inside the Iglesia Ni Cristo. My INC friends in school previously shares their stories about their church activities inside Iglesia Ni Cristo but never they have told me about BuKaBin. INC is usually secretive on their inner workings unless some news got spread on newspapers. Since INC have caught my attention some few years ago, the only groups I am quite aware of are the following:

• Children’s Worship Service or CWS – for handog or INC children

• Binhi – baptized teenagers

• KADIWA – single, unmarried members (Kabataang May Diwang Wagas)

• Buklod – all married members.

Until I saw a facebook page about BuKaBin. It appears that the BuKaBin is a combined group of 3 different subgroups inside Iglesia Ni Cristo. BuKaBin = BUklod, KAdiwa, and BINhi. Basing on the facebook info page of the group, BuKaBin ay samahan ng mga may tungkulin sa Iglesia Ni Cristo. As an outsider and in the spirit of fairness, I can say that I do not have a complete idea what BuKaBin is all about. Maybe some of our INC readers can give us more info about BuKaBin.

Whenever we hear about Iglesia Ni Cristo, I have to admit that there are 2 things that come in my mind, (1) INC Chapels and (2) politics. The legacy of Felix Y. Manalo is related to politics since Iglesia Ni Cristo is usually talked about during Philippine elections. Politicians are lining up to INC leaders for block voting endorsements. INC is well written in the Philippine Political History for being involved in EDSA1 (supporting Marcos), endorsing a losing presidential candidate Danding Cojuangco in 1992 election, heavy involvement in EDSA III, loyal support to Gloria Arroyo, involvement in choosing Senate President and the Ombudsman Impeachment fiasco. Bro. Felix Y. Manalo started preaching Iglesia Ni Cristo in the late 1913. He eventually registered Iglesia Ni Kristo on July 27, 1914. Felix Y. Manalo had 2 wives. His first wife was Tomasa Sereneo, who died after giving birth to their son, Gerardo. (NHI reported that Gerardo died in his infancy). Shortly after the death of his first wife and son, Felix Y. Manalo married his 2nd wife, Honorata de Guzman while they were members of Seventh day Adventists. Felix Manalo, after joining numerous religious groups (Methodist Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church, Disciples of Christ, Christian Mission and Seventh Day Adventists), he decided to form his own Church group – Iglesia Ni Kristo. What I find really funny is that after joining many church groups, Felix Manalo later be declared as an ‘angel sent by heaven’. Felix Manalo was also accused by Rosita Trillanes of Rape. The rape case of Rosita Trillanes have remained as one of the major moral question about the character of Felix Manalo.

The rape case of Rosita Trillanes have remained as one of the major moral question about the character of Felix Manalo.

After the death of Felix Manalo, Iglesia Ni Cristo acquired many land properties and continues to grow their political presence in Philippine politics. The INC leadership has been passed from one Manalo family member to another. Felix Manalo, Erano Manalo and then Eduardo Manalo. I am also expecting that Angelo Erano Manalo will be the one to turn over the INC leadership after Eduardo Manalo. Iglesia Ni Cristo is clearly being ruled by one family, the Manalo family. I am not sure if Nepotism is prohibited by the scriptures, but I can clearly see the Nepotism is running inside the politically influential group Iglesia Ni Cristo • Nepotism = favoritism shown to relatives or close friends by those in power (as by giving them jobs)

The living legacy of Felix Y. Manalo can be clearly seen among INC members but not among the rest of the Filipinos. For me and the rest of the Philippine nation, Felix Y. Manalo is dead. His legacy of political intervention in Philippine affairs continue to poison our government. The latest one is the Iglesia Ni Cristo trying to stop the impeachment of Ombudsman Gutierrez. Disgusting. It’s good thing that in other countries, Iglesia Ni Cristo is not that welcome. We cannot see the pointy INC chapels in some countries. We should be glad. Only in the Philippines that the INC cult is allowed to erect INC chapels. Only in the Philippines that the INC is successful in intervening political issues in the government. As a proof that legacy of Felix Y. Manalo is alive and well among INC members, Iglesia Ni Cristo decided to make a bronze statue of Felix Y. Manalo. Woe unto Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Iglesia Ni Cristo and their support to Gloria Arroyo, grrr.

Mr. President Noynoy Aquino, how can you so blind to see that Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) don’t like you. Iglesia Ni Cristo prefers Gloria Arroyo than Noynoy Aquino. This was clearly manifested when Iglesia Ni Cristo tried to stop the impeachment vote for Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez. Good friends don’t take the side of your enemy. Noynoy Aquino wants Ombudsman Gutierrez OUT. Gloria Arroyo wants Ombudsman Gutierrez IN. Here comes the Iglesia Ni Cristo of the Manalo family reportedly called Congressmen to stop the Impeachment case for the embattled Ombudsman. In 2010 presidential election, Iglesia Ni Cristo endorsed Noynoy Aquino. Noynoy Aquino was leading all survey ratings with a clear path to victory. However, Iglesia Ni Cristo have a new Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo who is still a newbie for big political decisions. Eduardo Manalo just inherited the position as INC leader from his father who died of sickness. Filipinos want to win Noynoy Aquino as the Philippine President and lead them to better life. Iglesia Ni Cristo wants their political survival by voting the leading presidential candidate.

Honestly, do Filipinos think that INC is really looking forward for better future by endorsing politicians during election? Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) is well known for endorsing candidates who are leading the surveys. Iglesia Ni Cristo learned their lesson of their mistake by endorsing an unpopular candidate Danding Cojuangco. After their failure of endorsing a loosing candidate in the 1992 election, Iglesia Ni Cristo now usually endorsed candidates who are leading surveys. Joseph Estrada (1998), Gloria Arroyo (2004) and Noynoy Aquino (2010). There are no spiritual and moral common denominator among the last 3 presidential candidates endorsed by Iglesia Ni Cristo. Estrada, Arroyo and Aquino are all leading the early surveys before the election. I cannot escape my logical reasoning that Iglesia Ni Cristo only endorses politicians that will benefit the INC interest. Filipinos do not even think and see INC as spiritual heroes. Only politicians love to mingle with Iglesia Ni Cristo members. There are even some places in the Philippines that INC members are being feared.

Mr. President Noynoy Aquino, please stop or cut any communication line and connection with the influential political group of Iglesia Ni Cristo. INC is an avid supporter of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez and ex-President Gloria Arroyo. INC did not even supported the democracy call of Cory Aquino against the tyranny of Ferdinand Marcos.

Iglesia Ni Cristo bloggers and members always attack the Catholic statues and images. BUT Manalo followers have no problem with the Felix Manalo statue and Erano Manalo postal stamps. A clear classic case of double standard. The INC doctrine of condemning Catholics and Protestants to hell is unacceptable. They even forget that Felix Manalo came from the Catholic Church. The parents of Felix Manalo was even Catholics. So how and why even the INC members have the nerve to attack the Catholic Church. Felix Manalo also joined numerous protestant groups before deciding to form his own Iglesia Ni Cristo. I cannot understand how INC condemns other religions. To think that only INC members will be saved is foolishness, in my opinion. I read the Bible sometimes but nowhere we can read that heaven is exclusive to Iglesia Ni Cristo members only. Iglesia Ni Cristo cannot even ensure that all of their INC members will be saved because some INC members are also involved in crimes such as murders, rape and drug addiction. INC members also drinks liquors and smoke cigarettes.

We now have a Cardinal Sin statue and I hope the INC members (and ministers) should stop attacking statues since INC have their own Felix Manalo statue. If the Iglesia Ni Cristo have at least amount of decency left for themselves, it would be wise for them to stop attacking other religions like they would usually do on INC blogs and tv programs. Aside from the Felix Manalo statue and Erano Manalo postal stamps, some streets were also named and being proposed by politicians to be named to a Manalo family member. Specially when Erano manalo died, some Congressmen proposed to name some streets after Erano Manalo. Yes, as you have noticed also, the Manalo Family is very dear to Iglesia Ni Cristo members. I even think that the name Manalo is more important than the name of our Lord to fanatic INC members. Have you heard that INC made a move to name a street, building after the name of our Lord? The Manalo clan in the Iglesia Ni Cristo is sacred. I even read on some religious discussion that some INC members are very active in defending the name of Felix, Erano and Eduardo Manalo. Any INC members are offended with the term IGLESIA NI MANALO.

The Department of Justice (DoJ) have already recommended the suspension of Land Transportation Office chief Virginia Torres. Justice Undersecretary Francisco Baraan III headed a fact-finding committee about the failed takeover of Stradcom, the sole information technology (IT) service provider of the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Why is it that Virginia Torres still sitting on her position as LTO chief? A Department of Justice report also recommended that administrative charges should be filed against Torres. Why is it that Virginia Torres still sitting on her position as LTO chief? Southern Leyte Rep. Roger Mercado, chair of the committee on transportation and communications in the House of Representatives said Torres should take a leave of absence after the DoJ recommendation. Why is it that Virginia Torres still sitting on her position as LTO chief? Philippine Daily Inquirer Columnist Neal Cruz is also suggesting that Virginia Torres should go on leave. Me, as a common Filipino Citizen and a tax payer, I am asking, Why is it that Virginia Torres still sitting on her position as LTO chief?

Pakapalan na lang ng mukha?

LTO Chief Virginia Torres, you are an INC member, right?

Dear Iglesia Ni Cristo Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo, I know that INC dictates INC members on whom should they vote during elections. Can you please ask or even plead to your INC follower ‘Kapatid na’ Virginia Torres to have some rest and take a leave of absence? Taking a leave of absence does not exactly mean that she is guilty already. Just to calm things down and let the course of justice take its own path, Virginia Torres can take voluntary leave of absence, kahit man lang sa delicadeza. Oh sorry. I don’t mean to bother you too much Sir INC Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo. I forgot that you also have some explaining to do on why did Iglesia Ni Cristo tried to stop the impeachment case of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez in Congress? Whew, the INC must be very busy these previous days. After the death of Eraño Manalo, Eduardo Manalo have to take charge in leading INC on their political decisions that may affect the Iglesia Ni Cristo. Iglesia Ni Cristo is a close ally of Gloria Arroyo. Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez is believed to be an ally of Gloria Arroyo. It must be hard to turn your back on a close friend, right?
